My baby daughter's first holiday begins after I finish work today as we head up to Sunderland.

She'll get to see the seaside for the first time, and I'll get to have a saveloy dip.

Can't wait :-D

Wonder if this is how Lowry felt?
 
i wouldnt bother, go to shields instead, nice fair and that for the young'un....

I loved coming back to Sunderland when I lived away. Roker and Seaburn are great for bairns.

Roker Park and the walk down to the sea is magical for kids. Roker Hotel canny for bait, Bungalow Cafe for the view. Beach at the cat and dog steps is really good.

People need to appreciate what little we do have.

How old does she have to be before she can have one?
Hopefully the weather stays as it is as you'll be able to get her out on the seafront for a walk.

I prefer to stay in my bedroom and say everything is shit.;)
Great weekend to be visiting apart from the obvious distraction of the match.
 
Sunderland's coast is great, the wife is from outside the region and she thinks it's great. We should be greateful for what we have on our doorstep.

Go to the games with my mate who has lived in Harrogate all his life and he always says the same 'wish I lived by the sea'

My brother in law could not believe how nice it was "up there", so nice he is having a weeks break there in the summer :cool:
 
Its always nice to see plenty folk down their for the airshow/other special events.. Other than that, you rarely see a crowd on the seafront.

that said, its nice to stroll along the bench on a sunday morning, chatting to the dog walkers, grab a bacon butty at the cat/dog steps. then head along to Morrisons for opening! ;)
 
apart from the road out of Newcastle, what have they got thats great? :neutral:

Jesus disco don't start. You must either never visit Newcastle or do it with your eyes closed.

As Harry said we have great stuff on our doorstep and it should be appreciated more.
 
Newcastle have a fantastic city center, we have a fantastic coastline. It's a great region to live in.
 
Walk along the river up to Cox Green or Fatfield.Trips to Durham-boats on the Wear.Walk up Tunstall Hill to take in the vista.

I think most of us are, but it could be so so much better with some investment.

Couldn't agree more! And with Durham and northumberland we have great countryside too!

Too many people quick to moan man and beat the city down. Our coast is a loverly day out and if the weather holds up it will be even better. Roker and seaburn are great.
